Tbh I started watching this becuz of the cast, but now I'm really enjoying this. The pacing is a little slow at first. But then the chemistry between chrs slowly and steadily improved as each ep went by, much like in real life, and also the growth of chrs is nice to watch.
Damn! This drama is such an intense and enjoyable ride. So far every eps is so thrilling to watch that there's almost no time for a break, both for MER team and also for audience.
Honestly this is a mess. It's like they're trying to do too much in one film, and then ended up failing to properly execute them. The ending feels like somewhat stupid and anticlimatic since the build up is not strong enough and the plot seems scattered all over.
Tbh I like this film more than the trilogy and the final. May be becuz this arc is my fav arc;it's same case also in anime. I think they've done well. Not to mention satoh takeru is absolute perfection as kenshin like always and arimura kasumi as tomoe is nice choice. This film doesn't have a particular villain or super cool one-on-one fight scenes like other movies since it explores more abt kenshin as a person and his relationship with tomoe, and that's exactly why I love this film over others.
Felt a bit lonely after finishing this. You know, that kind of feeling you get after finishing an awesome drama which touches both your heart & soul and then you came back to reality. This drama is just lovely and wholesome that I'm at loss of words to praise. I'll surely treasure this one alongside with my ultimate favs, mahoro and kotaki kyodai. Been a long time since I've felt good like this. A must watch for slice of life genre lovers.
Another ' style over substance' film. Visually stunning, but extremely lacking in context. Overall 6.5/10. It is hard for me to enjoy a film without enough context after all.
Those who have asked me to continue with the subs, other than the stated reason about the original subber, a few…
Thanks for deciding to continue subbing this. Don't really mind no matter how long the wait would be. We jdrama fans are already getting used to it. Again thank you so much.
Beautiful but dark, heavy and tragic tale about love and life. I'm totally blown away by the story, execution and brilliant acting from all casts, ofc mainly yamada takayuki and haruka ayase. Not to mention, both child actors are really amazing, especially the young yukiho girl. This drama gives me all kinds of feelings and emotions while watching. Honestly I don't think I could choose right words to describe how excellent and heartbreaking this drama is. Just watch it and experience yourself.
